@injuryexpert Source tells me Darvish threw seven distinct pitches for strikes, all from stretch. 95 on fastball. "Athletic" was theme of discussion.

Long as it happens before I die. Lakers and Canes do well for me, I just ask for one from the Phins and Cubs.

It's a shame Anibal Sanchez is experiencing shoulder soreness, because he was one of 2011's pleasant surprises for strikeouts. Despite retiring only four more hitters than he did in 2010 (196 1/3 innings), Sanchez fanned 45 more hitters, and was one of 14 pitchers to reach 200 Ks. He also lowered his WHIP to 1.27. However, forget all that, as this isn't the first time Sanchez has dealt with shoulder problems. Choosing him among the top 40, and perhaps 50 starting pitchers, is risky. This isn't likely to end well."
"Fantasy owners have been comparing the value of Soler and Yoenis Cespedes on Twitter and conversation pages lately, and let me just say one of these guys is reportedly 26, the other is 19. Don't even consider Soler, no matter which organization he lands with, for 2012 fantasy leagues. In dynasty or larger keeper formats, I'd still choose the considerably older and developed Cespedes first. It's not like he's Jamie Moyer old, after all, and he should keep his power into his 30s. Soler has a bright future, and in five years he might be the choice, but he's likely three years from being considered for the majors at all, so view him in re-draft fantasy leagues the way you would a young college prospect."
"Chris Perez was on my list as one of the closers most likely to lose his role at some point, as his 2011 campaign was misleading. Sure, he saved 36 games. Awesome. But he walked too many hitters, saw his strikeout rate plummet, got lucky with opponents? BABIP and with Pestano waiting in the wings, the writing was on the wall. Don?t ignore Perez even in 10- or 12-team leagues; he?s still likely to inherit the closer role when healthy in April. He has the closer experience, whatever that?s worth. In fact, this injury turns him from overrated to somewhat of a late-round bargain.."

The Twins have signed left-hander Glen Perkins to a three-year, $10.3MM extension, the team announced. The SFX client was already under contract for $1.55MM in 2012, so the deal covers the 2013-15 seasons. It includes a club option for 2016. (MLB Trade Rumors)
